[Bug 304480] [NEW] unable to install adblock and others in firefox

[Hanky]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Hi!

Ubuntu version is;
lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
Release:	8.10


Version of the package is:
firefox
Installed: 3.0.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1
*** 3.0.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates/main Packages
        500 http://security.ubuntu.com intrepid-security/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I tried to install the 'adblock plus' add-on and some other related
things, but without success - the add-ons don't show up anywhere even
though firefox tells me they are being downloaded and "installed".

In consequence, no ads are blocked, I can't subscribe to any filter
list, or create my own filter rules.

What could be the problem?

so long
